Ever since I was little, I've had a problem with my neck. Whenever we were going down a big hill on the road, my neck and shoulder area would begin to tingle uncontrollably. I had to tense my shoulders up and retract my head back in order to hold it down. Well, last year we were at a theme park, riding a giant viking ship that would swing back and forth. I cried so bad because of my neck. It was horrible. Does anyone have any idea of what this might be?
This is not a big concern of mine. The only reason why I ask this question is because of an upcoming trip with my boyfriend to disneyworld. He loves rollercoasters and can't understand why I can't ride on them. Please help!
P.S. I've noticed that whenever I'm on a swingset and I turn my head sideways, the same thing happens to me.

anyone with bad backs or necks or any other type of spinal problem should not be boarding rollercoasters...I used to love them, but can no longer ride them due to the toll it can take on ones spine..
go see a Dr. and you need to tell your boyfriend what the problem is...When in Disney, he won't be the only one riding the ride...there will always be someone to sit next to...someone else that would otherwise ride alone too...
Enjoy your trip, but do go see a DR... The spine is nothing to mess with...

I suggest you not to get on these rough rides again. Since I am not a Dr., I can't really diagnose your problem. I suggest doing neck exercises. Sit straight, look up for 10 seconds and then come back to center. Then look down and hold for 10 seconds, and back to center. Turn left as far as comfortable and repeat to the Right. Repeat 6-7 times. Try these several times each day. If you still have problems, I suggest you find a good chiropractor and let him/her diagnose your problem.

sounds like you have a pinched nerve or misalignment in your spine. Do you use one hand more than the other? You may want to see a chiropractor (sp?)
